Maggie turned to see Tommy running toward her, carrying a cheerful expression.
Tommy spoke up, "Auntic, my mom wanted me to give you some cookiesst night, but you weren''t home, so I took them back."
Before Maggie could respond, Isabe, who had been listening, snorted and said, "You''re lying! My mom was definitely at homest night."
Tommy scratched her head in confusion. "Huh? Was she? But then why..."
Before Maggie could rify, Isabe''s teacher called her name, "Miss Miller."
"Teacher," Rong Ci replied.
Teacher told Isabe and Tommy to go inside the ssroom, as she needed to speak with Maggie.
After the two children went in, Teacher turned to Maggie and said, "Next week, the school is having a parent-child activity. Are you aware of it, Miss?"
Maggie shook her head. "I didn''t know. Isabe hasn''t mentioned it."
Teacher seemed to hesitate for a moment before continuing, "Well..."
She had her suspicions but still felt the need to confirm it.
Maggie replied, "Anyone can apany her for the event."
Her attitude had been clear a few times before-she didn''t intend to participate in anything rted to the
event herself.
Sighing, Teacher said, "Alright, I understand."
After thanking her, Maggie turned and left the school.
Once she got back to thepany, not long after, she was informed that Julia and Logan had arrived again.
Thest time they came was more of a casual visit, but neither she nor Johnny had ever intended to cooperate with the Brown family.

When Johnny received the news, he immediately instructed his staff to send them away.
Not long after, Johnny received a phone call.
Seeing the caller ID, he nced at Maggle.
Maggie looked up. "Trankin?"
"Yes,"
Maggie had already guessed the reason for Franklin''s call and continued working without reacting. Johnny picked up the phone. "Mr. Wilson."
On the other end of the line, Franklin said, "Mr. Gray, how about we have a meal togetherter?"
Johnny, disinterested in any pleasantries, immediately replied, "Mr. Wilson, is this call on behalf of the Brown family?"
Franklin responded, "Yes."
Johnny smiled faintly and made it clear to Franklin, "Mr. Wilson, Cole will never cooperate with the Brown family. I believe there''s no need for me to exin the reasons."
Without waiting for Franklin to speak, Johnny added, "Moreover, the proposal you brought from Wilson Corporation was indeed good.
However, if we are to cooperate, I have one condition: During our coboration, you must guarantee that no member of the Brown family or the Green family will have any ess to our projects."
"If that''s not possible, then there''s no need for further discussion. Mr. Wilson, have I made myself clear?
Franklin replied, "Very clear."
Johnny said, "Alright, Mr. Wilson, goodbye."
After hanging up, Johnny didn''t receive another call from Franklin.
In the following days, even Wilson Corporation ceased to contact them.
It was as though Franklin, for Julia''s sake, was willing to give up the opportunity for cooperation.
And indeed, this was the case.

Two or three dayster, Johnny heard that Wilson Corporation had set up a project team to develop a new
project,
Julia and the Green family would be involved in the new project.
Though it was a bit of a loss not to cooperate with Wilson Corporation, there were still manyrgepanies in the country with a simr scale.
Cole wasn''t reliant on Wilson Corporation.
That Friday evening, Nn came back.
Maggie, taking herptop, went with Johnny to Nn''s house for dinner.
After dinner, Nn helped her review a paper she had written.
Late into the night, as she was getting into the car to head home, her aunt, Helen, called.
Helen exined that she had originally nned to take the two children on a day trip by boat the next day, but something hade up with her side of the family, so she had to return home. As a result, she wouldn''t be able to take care of the children. Maggie listened and said, "I understand. I''m free tomorrow, so I''ll take them instead."
She had just hung up the phone when it rang again.
This time, it was Harry calling.
Maggie answered the phone and immediately said, "Sorry, if it''s about Daisy, I have ns tomorrow and won''t have time."
However, Harry didn''t hang up and instead asked, "Can you tell me what it is about? Daisy really wants to see you tomorrow."
Since it wasn''t anything confidential, Maggie told him the situation.
After listening, Harry replied, "Daisy enjoys day trips by boat. Would it be alright if there are two more people?"
Maggie was taken aback for a moment but quickly came to her senses and replied, "I''ll check with my brother and sister first and ask for their opinions."
Harry agreed. "Alright."
